O Christmas Tree... | Calgary Family Photography

Absolutely the best way to end my busy season...with a session where the family let me be witness to the magic of Christmas through their little ones eyes. He wants a digger and a forklift. She wants a horse drawn carriage with Sleeping Beauty and Belle riding along. Such a special year this will be for these two munchkins.  Such a treat for me to watch them put up their tree. I couldn't decide...colour or black and white.

The Big Red Barn Wedding | Calgary Wedding Photographer

It was hot. It was smoky. But, it's okay...there was ice cream. And, a big red barn. And, a whole lot of love...not to mention plenty of black liquorice(I might be a fan). 

How many brides dream of having a wedding in a big red barn? Well, the Big Red Barn in Lacombe, Alberta does not disappoint. 

Motherhood

 

This is a recent shot from a studio session I did. As much as I love the big, loud moments with huge expression and bright colours...there is something equally as appealing to me as these quiet moments. These soft moments of motherhood. They aren't so obvious. We have to search for them. But they are so precious because in amongst the temper tantrums and the teething, we might forget sometimes that they existed.

Celebrating Mother's

There were lots of cute little kids and their moms at my event this weekend, but I decided to share this image first because I want a photograph like this with my mom. That's all I want for Mother's day ;) Loved seeing and meeting all the mothers this past weekend. Lots to share--I promise, but I just couldn't resist this pretty shot to get the ball rolling.

Oh--and I'm not saying this daughter isn't cute and little...but, I will say that she was very well behaved and fully deserved her treat afterwards.
